Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to participate in a survey examining New Year’s Resolutions and goal-setting habits of library employees.
Leo Lo (University of Alabama) and Amelia Anderson (Florida State University) are conducting a study called New Year’s Resolutions Survey. They wish to find out library staff’s habits and behaviors of setting goals during the new year period.
Taking part in this study involves completing a web survey that will take about 10 minutes. This survey contains questions about respondent demographic, goal setting habits , and new year’s resolution perceptions.
The researchers will protect your confidentiality by not collecting your name. Only the researchers will have access to the data. Only summarized data will be presented at meetings or in publications.
There will be no direct benefits to you (or describe benefit or incentives). The findings will be useful to the library profession for developing goal-setting programs for employees and users.
The chief risk is that some of the questions may make you uncomfortable. You may skip any questions you do not want to answer.
If you have questions about this study, please contact Leo Lo at leolo@ua.edu. If you have questions about your rights as a research participant . contact Ms. Tanta Myles (the University Compliance Officer) at (205) 348-8461 or toll-free at 1-877-820-3066. If you have complaints or concerns about this study, file them through the UA IRB outreach website at http://osp.ua.edu/site/PRCO_Welcome.html. Also, if you participate, you are encouraged to complete the short Survey for Research Participants online at this website. This helps UA improve its protection of human research participants.
